Madonna To Undergo $200,000 Worth of Plastic Surgery?

Is the Material Girl planning to transform herself into plastic? According to Showbizspy.com:
“Madonna has been feeling her age since her divorce from Guy Ritchie in 2008,” a source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper.
“She’s been dating the model Jesus Luz who is a lot younger than her and she wants to keep looking her best...Her friends have recommended things to have done and she’s considering them as a little treat for turning 52 in August... She wants things to look natural with nothing too radical... She’s still working out seven days a week and because she’s so skinny she feels her cleavage has gone. So her friends think she should go up one size and get them lifted...She’s got some spider veins on her legs that have come with age so she’s planning to get those sorted first and then will spend the next year overhauling herself completely.”
So what do you think Madonna can have that would add up to $200,000? Let's fancy a guess:
1. Revision Facelift: $10,000
2. Facial Fat Grafting: $5000
3. Fractional Laser Treatments: $4000
4. Breast implant revision: $10,000
5. Body skin tightening treatments, such as the Cutera Titan: $4000
6. Spider vein treatments: $2000
7. Botox: $500
8. Filler injections like Perlane: $1000
Wow. We're only at $36,000. What else can she possibly consider? Now we get into the weird and completely unnecessary stuff: 9. Endoscopic browlift: $8000. 10. Revision blepharoplasty: $5000. 11. Laser liposuction to sweat glands of the armpits: $5000. 12. Hand plumping injections: $4000. 13. Batwing reduction: $10,000. 14. Mini tummy tuck: $7000. 15. Designer laser vaginoplasty (yes, some docs actually call it that!): $7000? (My wild guess). 16. Fat injections to buttocks: $10,000. 17. Full body laser hair removal: $8000.
All of this only adds up to $100,000. To get to $200,000, I guess we'll have to add some really crazy things like: 18: Rib removal to thin the torso: $20,000. 19. Leg breaking and lengthening to add an inch of height (we get shorter as we age, you know): $30,000. 20. Second Toe Shortening: $10,000. And a few minor ones: 21. Restylane injections to the feet to help with high heels (check out my CBS Early Show clip on this) $2000. 22. Earlobe shortening: $1000. 23. Injections of her own plasma to her face: $4000. and finally the most bizarre: 24. Creation of wings: $33,000+. TOTAL: $200,000.

Madonna - Chin Implant?

Madonna's recent appearance in Brazil has sparked rumors she may have had a recent chin augmentation. As you can see by the photo her chin does look a bit prominent, and maybe even swollen from recent surgery. Why would she have this procedure done? I never thought her chin was small in the first place!
Chin implants are placed via small incisions either inside the mouth (my preferred technique) or under the chin. When inserted through the mouth there is no visible scar afterwards. I often see people who come in asking for a rhinoplasty to reduce the size of their nose when the real problem is a tiny chin. A small chin can actually make the nose look bigger than it really is. Just a quick lesson on facial harmony...

Madonna and Madamism?

Is Madonna turning into a Madame puppet-face? Cityrag.com has coined (or propagated) the term "Madamism," which is a process some stars undergo as they have too much plastic surgery. They begin to look more and more like Madame the puppet. Other stars who may be undergoing Madamism include Priscilla Presley, Faye Dunaway, Cher, and maybe even Lara Flynn Boyle.

What's Happening to Madonna?

What's the story with Madonna's appearance? She seems to be getting thinner and thinner (check out her arms) yet her cheeks remain full and soft. Can this be due to plastic surgery?
I think it is. There are three ways to effectively add volume to the face. The first is facial fat grafting. This is one of my favorite plastic surgeries to perform because it is minimally invasive and can really return a nice, youthful softness to the face. The second way to add volume to the face is via solid implants. With the exception of a chin implant, I am not a fan of these types of facial implants. Some of them require screws to keep them in place. Due to their hard nature, they also do not achieve the softer look of facial fat grafting, or the third technique: Sculptra injections. I believe Madonna may have had Sculptra injections to her face over the last several years to retain volume and softness. Sculptra is FDA approved for HIV-related facial wasting, but is often used for general cosmetic reasons. I think it is a very effective way to enhance the face.
So why do I think Madonna has had Sculptra and not facial fat grafting? Since it appears the fat in the rest of her body has all but disappeared, I would expect the same to occur in her face. However, even with an extremely thin body, her cheeks remain full. Sculptra-enhanced cheeks should not deflate quite as much as fat-enhanced cheeks.

Madonna - Plastic?

What looks unnatural about this recent photo of Madonna? Here's my take:
1. Her forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and eyes look virtually wrinkle-free. This is very unusual in a woman her age. My guess is that her plastic surgeon does a nice Botox job.
2. Her cheeks are very soft and full for someone with such low body fat. This can be a possible result of Fat Grafting or Sculptra Injections. My comments on her recent "bruise" photos can be seen in last week's In Touch Weekly.
3. She has a very nice jawline for someone her age. Has she had a possible well-done facelift?
Overall, I think she looks fantastic. What material is the Material Girl made of? Maybe Plastic?

Madonna Looks Fresh as a Daisy


After appearing in public recently sporting facial bruising, sunglasses, and lots of dark roots, Madonna showed up at her "Raising Malawi" gala, looking well rested and many years younger.
The gala was a $2500 a head affair, which raised $3.7 million, and was attended by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Drew Barrymore, Gwen Stefani, and Salma Hayek, and was hosted by Chris Rock.
The Penns are Going the Way of the Dodo Bird

The one Hollyweird couple that I actually thought would stand the test of time has announced that it's over: Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn.
The couple, who've been married 11 years, have two children together, Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16.
Penn, 47, and Wright, 41, began dating in the early '90s and married in 1996. They also have starred together in several films, including 1998's Hurlyburly and 1997's She's So Lovely, directed by Nick Cassavetes.
What a bummer. They stayed under the radar, and for all his outward surliness, Penn seemed to have found his soulmate after the disaster that was his marriage to Madonna.

Hillary Clinton: Meet Your Cousins Angelina and Madonna

Hillary Rodham Clinto is going to need a bigger dining room table if she plans to have all her newly found relatives over for dinner. According to Washington genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner, Clinton counts Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette as her new found cousins, though they are many times removed.
All of the celebs share a French ancestry way back when, who moved to Quebec and then went South.
Welcome to the family!

Madonna Has Some Big Plans Later for Guy

Madge and her hubby unit leave a London hotel with the Purple Penetrator strap-on dildo in a bag. On her personal blog, Madonna insists that the two give each other gag birthday gifts, but personally, given her rather out there sexual history, I think she has some big plans for that strap-on involving Guy's posterior. I hope he bought some great lube to go with it!
Check out the Purple Penetrator here. NSFW site.

Madge Ditches Meeting With Child's Father

Madonna obviously never read the book "How To Win Friends and Influence People". On her trip to her adopted son's home country of Malawi, there was to be a scheduled meeting between David's biological father and his son. Madge bagged the meeting instead, after the guy, a poor farmer, was already on his way to the appointed meeting site.
Yohane Banda had hoped to get a chance to catch up with three-year-old David Banda, who the Material Girl star adopted last October (06). But Yohane was left disappointed when Madonna's tight schedule didn't allow for him to sit down with David. He says, "I never met him. Plans were there for me to meet David but it never happened. "I must say my mother was looking forward to meeting David and she was a little sad it was never to happen. But I assured her it will happen one day." Banda claims the Malawi government's Director Of Child Welfare services, Penston Kilembe, told him, "Meeting me was not on the agenda but (Madonna's) people said if time allowed she would meet me."
Now is not the time to piss off the world, Madge. People have just started to forget about the allegations of illegal adoption where little David is concerned.

Crown "Un-Buys" Nanny's Madonna Tell All

Crown Publishing wussed out on putting out the tell-all book penned by Madonna's ex-nanny, that was slated for a September release. Crown didn't give a reason for backing out, but a Brit tabloid suspects that Madonna's lawyers may have had a smidge to do with it.
Melissa Dumas will have to find another publisher with the nutters to go against Madge's army of high-paid lawyers in order to tell her secrets.

Madonna's Nanny's Tell-All Book

A former nanny in Madonna's household is shopping a tell-all book detailing her time taking care of the kids. The memoir promises all sorts of juicy details including the state of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's marriage, what the two kids, Lourdes and Rocco, are really like, the real reason Madonna adopted an African boy, and personal photos of the family.
There are no takers for the 80 page book proposal as of yet.

NOW Who's Adopting Yet Another African Orphan?

Artwork from Gallery of the Absurd
Another Hollywood couple is jumping on the adoption bandwagon to jet to Africa and take in a hapless orphan. Following in the hallowed footsteps of Saint Jolie and Mother Madge, Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany (who obviously weren't getting their fair share of the media spotlight) have announced their adoption intentions. Jennifer was inspired while in Africa filming Blood Diamond to go ahead and copy her co-star, Leonardo diCaprio, but at the same time one upping him, since he opted to just sponsor an orphan, rather than uproot one and plop it down in California.
Kudos to them for helping a kid out.
You Knew This Was Coming.....

And you know somewhere Jen Aniston is cackling with glee!
After months of the media fawning over Brangelina, it seems the tide has finally turned (as it always does)... not only is Angelina Jolie getting pummeled for criticizing Madonna, calling Shiloh a "blob" and being a diva with Vogue and St. John, but now Life & Style claims Angelina fears she is losing boyfriend and babydaddy Brad Pitt. The magazine reports that when Babel won the Golden Globe for best drama, Angie and Brad seemed to hug everyone but each other. And when they finally did kiss, Brad was looking away and disengaged. Not only that, L&S has learned that over the first two weeks in January, Angie placed "several tearful calls" to Lisa Pitt — who’s married to Brad’s brother, Doug — begging her to cut ties with Brad’s ex, Jennifer Aniston, who has remained close to Lisa.
"Jen's Pain"... "Angelina's Pain"... anything to sell magazines. Of course, if they really wanted to boost sales, they should have a cover about "Brad's Pain" -- over Angelina and Jen's secret lesbian love affair. (Oh, you know it's coming. Who will do it first, you think? My money's on OK!...)
Angelina a ‘Nightmare’ at Vogue Shoot

Angelina Jolie’s rep has been taking a lot of hits lately. She came out looking a little catty for questioning Madonna’s international adoption, reports surfaced she pushed her way through a crowd fans at the God Grew Tired of Us premiere, she came off as cold and bitchy during her Golden Globes red carpet interview, and now, sources claim she pissed off photographer Annie Leibovitz at her Vogue cover shoot.
A source tells Us that, at the cover shoot for the January issue of Vogue (shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz), Jolie “was a nightmare. It became all about Angelina fussing over her hair and makeup. Annie and Angelina did not get along because of it.”
I’m not sure if this is a case of mega-stardom going to her head, or if this is just a woman worn down by the constant media glare. Who knows, maybe it could be both?
